300-Hour Level 5 Advanced Diploma TEFL Course

Module 1: In order to teach grammar, a TEFL teacher needs to be comfortable and understand it themselves! This is why we provide a comprehensive overview of grammar in the English language. If you’re not an expert on grammar before the course, you will be when you finish Module 1!

Teaching English isn’t all about grammar, teaching vocabulary is important too. In this module, you’ll learn about the different groups of vocabulary that we teach, how students learn new words best and the most effective techniques that we use as teachers to teach new vocabulary in the classroom.
